Situated in the heart of Colorado, Aspen Creek Ranch encompasses 500 deeded acres plus an additional 640 leased acres, surrounded by some of the West's most desirable landscapes. Easily accessed within two hours of Denver and ninety minutes of Colorado Springs, the ranch is equally suitable as a recreational retreat, part/full-time residence, or simply as a sound investment in a growing rural land market. On its western edge, Aspen Creek Ranch shares a one-mile direct boundary with Pike National Forest, offering immediate access into over 1,000,000 acres of public lands. In addition to its border with National Forest, the ranch shares a half-mile boundary with 640 acres of State-owned public lands. Expansion opportunities exist to increase the ranch's acreage up to 1,355 total deeded acres, as well as a reduced configuration of 200 deeded acres. Approximately one-half mile of Currant Creek traverses through the property, flowing year-round and creating a unique wetland ecosystem that supports wildlife and livestock alike. Several homesites on the ranch present a clean slate on which to construct a cabin or mountain residence, complete with stunning views of Pikes Peak: one of Colorado's limited peaks over 14,000 feet and nicknamed "America's Mountain". Frontage along Colorado Highway 9 allows hassle free 12-month access to the ranch. Located in the draw-only Game Management Unit 58, extensive big-game hunting opportunities can be enjoyed both on the ranch and in adjacent public lands. In addition to hunting, hiking, camping, mountain biking, fishing, boating, off-roading and a variety of winter sports can all be experienced in the National Forest and nearby reservoirs, lakes, and streams. Note: Final boundaries are subject to survey. Acreage subject to change. Tax estimate subject to change. Price subject to change.
